Hi,

Unfortunately, this method is not valid anymore, as the sweep tool works differently. The video shows an old version of the app.

The 3.0 version will have a feature that will be able to solve this, as we know how important this is.

The 3.0 version comes out this Fall

This is one way to do it:

But we will implement a simple solution for this where you will have a quite the freedom to control different variables of the thread. Unfortunately, it won’t be included in 3.0, later versions will have it.
